Can you keep the discussion civil? I don't get why you feel compelled
to qualify an argument from the main developer as "non serious".

What's your definition of "correct"? According to Chet, the definition
is the same as the ISO C standard. I'm not sure if there's a public
version of the ISO C standard document, but
http://c0x.coding-guidelines.com/6.4.4.1.html seems to be good enough.
The definition of an "integer constant" in that document does not
include a sign.

So, in that regard, Bash is behaving according to specification.
